The Society for Applied Anthropology 66th Annual Meeting March 28 – April 2, 2006 Hyatt Regency Hotel Fire & Water SAR Press and the SfAA Catastrophe and Culture: Gray Areas: Ethnographic Encounters with The Anthropology of Disaster Nursing Home Culture Edited by Susanna M. Hoffman and Anthony Oliver-Smith Edited by Philip B. Stafford “…a visceral rendering of tragedy, an indictment of bureaucratic incompetence and negligence, and an exploration of policy implications.…” “[T]he contributors to Gray Areas provide both a sorely needed overview of the current state of chronic illness care in the United States and a working model for qualitative researchers seeking to understand nursing home culture.” —Carole Crumley, University of North Carolina–Chapel Hill Globalization, Water, and Health: Resource Management in Times of Scarcity Edited by Linda Whiteford and Scott Whiteford “This is a strong piece of scholarly work that explores a number of pressing water-related health issues and will be of interest to people working in a variety of scholarly and applied fields: medical anthropology, environmental anthropology, international health and development, and water management.” —Michael Ennis-McMillan, Skidmore College The Seductions of Community: Emancipations, Oppressions, Quandaries Edited by Gerald W. Creed “This is an important volume with an important agenda. Through intense, sometimes disturbing critique, the authors call into question the hegemonic appeal of a word and its effects, prompting us to consider what a world beyond ‘community’ might look like.” —Samantha L. Solimeo, American Ethnologist Remaking Life and Death: Toward an Anthropology of the Biosciences Edited by Sarah Franklin and Margaret Lock This volume reflects a growing international concern about issues such as organ transplantation, new reproductive and genetic technologies and embryo research, and the necessity of cross-cultural comparison. Organ and tissue “harvesting,” bio-prospecting, the patenting of life-forms are explored herein, as well as governance and regulation in cloning, organ transplantation, tissue engineering, and artificial life systems procedures. Community Building in the Twenty-first Century Edited by Stanley E. Hyland “[T]his book can make an important contribution to applied, practicing, and what is coming to be called engaged anthropology….” —Donald R.

As you leaf through this program, you will see that these meetings will be very large and very diverse. For most days of the meetings, up to eighteen sessions will be offered simultaneously at the Hyatt-Regency Hotel. We are pleased that PESO, SMA, and CONNA will join the SfAA in Vancouver. We hope that the conference attracted newcomers and, hopefully, some new members. The conference offers more than 175 paper sessions, panels, posters, and roundtables; and upward of 25 business and special interest group meetings; special events and plenary sessions; and, a number of tours and professional workshops. At this writing, our registrants represent 34 countries, 11 provinces of Canada, and 49 of the 50 states and the District of Columbia, a testimony to the broad appeal of the SfAA and the City of Vancouver. Vancouver’s placement on the edge of North America and its position in the Pan Pacific region provides the backdrop for our conference theme “World on the Edge.” As you review the program you will see that we offer a variety of sessions related to our theme: disasters and resettlement, First Nations and Native Americans, community, regional and international development, health and healing, agriculture and horticulture, education and language retention, international and global issues, tourism, and so on. Following last year’s success in incorporating our professional interests and the interests of the community and the region in which we hold our annual meetings we decided to have a “Vancouver British/Columbia Day,” which takes place on March 28th, the first day of the meetings. The spotlight of this day will shine on regional themes, including regular sessions as well as some special presentations. Our goal is to provide conference goers and members of the local community with an opportunity to learn more about the city and the region in which we are meeting. The meetings also offer tours and special sessions (on Thursday, March 30th) that celebrate David Aberle’s anthropological legacy. We trust our members and colleagues will support and participate in these happenings. We are in debt to many people without whom this conference wouldn’t have come to fruition: these include our Executive Director, Tom May, and his staff Melissa Cope, Neil Hann, and Trish Colvin; our President, Donald Stull for his counsel and assistance; New Mexico Highlands University’s Victoria Evans whose editing skills and good sense were invaluable. We would also like to thank Simon Fraser University and the University of British Columbia for their financial contributions towards hosting symposia. While we cannot name everyone who has contributed their time, energy and thoughts, we certainly appreciate the contributions. We sincerely hope that you will enjoy and benefit from these meetings, and that you will join us in expressing our thanks to the citizens of Vancouver for their generous hospitality.

The stylized eye, among the bestknown design elements in Northwest Coast native visual arts, is repeated to form the SfAA-Vancouver logo. Give the cover a quarter-turn to the left, and the “eyes of SfAA” are upon you.

As a collaboration Friday, March 31 of community and campus, this book recounts the largely unrecorded history of Muncie’s black community (which the Lynds and subsequent researchers downplayed), and details the efforts of community and campus to rectify the representation of “small town America” as exclusively white. Exploring issues of race, power, and inequity, faculty, students, and community members together designed and implemented a collaborative ethnographic field project that involved intensive interviews, research, and writing between community organizations, local experts, ethnographers, and teams of college students. ___________________________ (F-75) FRIDAY 12:00-1:30 Lord Byron Partners in AIDS Prevention: Folks and Professionals Confronting HIV Part II (SMA) CHAIR: GOLDSMITH, Douglas S.

Anthropologists have a history of applied work with dislocated and involuntarily resettled communities, in programs concerning colonial (re)settlement, military purposes, and ethnic homogenization, and in organizations charged with providing aid. How can we address questions concerning voluntary and forced migration, “illegality”, and multiple exclusions? What should be the role of aid organizations? How do economy, race, religion, constructed boundaries on human movement or thought reshape social and cultural configurations that affect physical, mental, and economical health? Using complementary scientific and humanistic perspectives, we discuss issues confronting us as the scale of human displacement and resettlement intensify around the world. nadia.

Public health, by focusing on the prevention of disease, requires the health practitioner to artfully combine knowledge of local culture with medical knowledge. The panelists spent 12 weeks studying public health concerns in three western highland Guatemala Maya communities. Their papers present the cultural factors that, while contributing to the public health problems in the communities, also suggest what public health officials could do to ameliorate these health problems. Due to the immigration of people from these communities to North America, elements of local cultural knowledge also migrate and thus should be incorporated in public health actions among these migrants.

The neoliberal economic philosophy has swept across Latin America over the past three decades as national governments embrace privatization, free trade, and economic restructuring in order to secure favored status with multilateral institutions. Although the region is largely marked by stability and peace as societies emerged from periods of authoritarian rule and civil war, new movements have arisen seeking equity and justice in response to the social costs of neoliberal policies. While neoliberalism is a global project, it has varying histories, impacts, and expressions in individual countries. We take a comparative approach by bringing together case-studies from throughout the region.

Cooperation and conflict redefine boundaries - political, economic, environmental, perceptual - and renegotiate the patterns of how social power is to be distributed within society. The characteristic of this distribution changes as socio-cultural systems grow in scale. These case studies use scale as an explanatory tool to discuss changing boundaries and power differentials within societies experiencing growth. While specific research originates in Cameroon, Canada, China, Ecuador, and the U.S., panelists confront the relationship between social power and health, the increasing costs of food distribution, changing networks and relations of conservation, water and energy development, ecotourism, and corporate sustainability.

Weber was an early proponent that proclaimed moral constructs influence behavior in the context of economic systems. In more recent cases, it has been argued that non-economic factors, such as the mission of an organization, geographic region, or work collective, influence economic performance by linking together the values of the individual and the group. Conversely, if such values are opposed, the reverse result is to be expected; i.e., negative performance. In this session, we present ethnographic evidence related to the “moral sources of competitiveness” and their opposition, and begin an effort to theorize these phenomena from an anthropological perspective.

Participation in research and practice facilitates a community’s ability to establish control over their social, cultural, economic and political future. Panelists discuss participation related to project start-up; challenges in working with transplanted populations; ethical dilemmas in selecting partners from within a population; participation facilitators, barriers and meanings; and dynamics among participants. They explore how participation strengthens capacity and mediates power differential and consider ways transformational participatory processes can be sustained.

Despite efforts to address culture in healthcare, popular conceptualizations of culture continue to invoke categorical, racialized discourses and practices. Reflecting popularized societal notions of culture, these discourses are often conflated with metaphors of dependency and inferiority. Such discourses have contributed to growing concerns about “vulnerable populations,” “disadvantaged groups,” and “populations at risk.” The papers in this session scrutinize these discourses, and challenge essentialized and ethno-specific knowledge that categorizes people and perpetuates practices of “Othering” and assumptions about “difference.” We explore ways of remaining responsive to individual positioning and how distinct histories and socio-cultural-political environments shape individual lives, health and well-being.

Public health discourses currently place an emphasis on self-regulation, producing an exaggeration of personal agency in public health renderings. The emphasis on personal agency has entered particular social and cultural confluences as a circulating public health language that, similar to the neoliberal logic it rests upon, imposes a culturally specific sense of rationality in terms of health practice, while at the same time promoting flexible responses to dynamic and changing contexts. This panel explores this global language of public health as it circulates among identified “targets” such as youth, the chronically-ill, and other groups categorized as “at risk.” [email protected] (F-13) (F-43) ______________________________________ CAMPBELL, Alice and CAMPEANU, Claudia (U Texas-Austin) Art, Business, and the Production of Locality. Locality often implies a kind of enduring relationship between people and a place, and a grounded particularity in the face of national or transnational homogenizing tendencies. “Traditional” and tourist arts are key agents in the formation of localities, but when they circulate through and depend on translocal economies, some cultural forms invariably have more currency than others.

This panel approaches cultural rights through practice - as applied, as used, and as claimed. Collectively panelists ask, “How have cultural rights come to matter for development work?” Our panel addresses the broader context of the relationship of cultural rights to cultural policy making, including the regulation of cultural fields, cultural rights taken as a resource, and the role of cultural rights for the recuperation of identity in multicultural democratic societies.

Development is widely understood to involve a spatial disjuncture (people not normally associated with a place come to play a role in it) and a temporal transformation (the historical trajectory of a place is redirected). Plans for such transformations may have arisen from the concerns of local people, but if so the plan has traveled out for consideration by moneyed outsiders and returned for implementation, often with outsiders in tow. This panel considers how development spans spatial and temporal contexts, how it configures local spaces and timeframes, and how factors outside of the spatial and temporal frameworks of a project impact development outcomes.

This session provides examples how faculty and students, in Wayne State University’s Business and Organizational Anthropology Concentration, are managing methodological challenges, in order to address the changes wrought by these “central forces” on organizations and communities. Participants will discuss challenges associated with team research; change processes on local and global levels; studying changing communication; constructing and managing dynamic networks; and adapting work practices to technology.

This panel examines the manner in which women anthropologists working on households and gender issues can develop social networks within the communities they study or the organizations they are working with. We analyze the manner in which networks created along gender lines have been a crucial component of our anthropological fieldwork process. We hypothesize that the social capital that anthropologists bring and how we expend it, will influence our abilities to be placed within these social networks of information. We conclude that our success in accessing these social networks will determine the success of any applied anthropology project.

Cultural consonance is the degree to which an individual approximates, in his or her beliefs and behaviors, a cultural model of some domain. A theory of cultural consonance provides the conceptual and methodological tools for linking the cultural to the individual, and to the biological. Previous research has shown that variation in cultural consonance is associated with health outcomes. The papers in this session explore the associations of cultural consonance with a variety of outcomes in populations from North and South America, the Caribbean, and Africa.

This panel investigates how the anthropological study of policymaking processes can contribute to applied anthropology. Policy - whether originating in businesses, governments, international organizations, or nongovernmental organizations - plays an increasingly pervasive and implicit role in shaping the contours of power in everyday life. It invites critiques from anthropologists seeking to understand how social order is produced, contested, and transformed vis-à-vis policy production and implementation. This roundtable explores two related topics: how policy is implicated the production of inequality in a decentralized and deterritorialized world; and how knowledge of that issue can support applied anthropologists seeking to rectify power imbalances. gfel@ interchange.ubc.ca (TH-104) ______________________________________ FELDMAN, Kerry D.

This session will address marginalizing forces where complexities of geography, gender, ethnicity and class intersect through state forces of domination to fragment collective identities and political actions. The focus will be on the intersection of governing forces as the neo-liberal dismantling and reordering of the nation state simultaneously creates new enclaves of marginal citizens, disempowers First Nations and demands new levels of individual and community responsibility. Even as marginalized citizens are disempowered through discredited political associations, perceived moral, social or intellectual deficits, or through state-imposed disruption of identity, they find new ways to resist the forces of domination confronting them.

Increasing numbers of youth are consuming cigarettes, alcohol and drugs. While gambling is not a new phenomenon in Viet Nam, with more disposable money, stakes are increasing. Conservative sexual mores create an atmosphere of silence in regards to youths‚ sexuality and social-sexual relationships.

The papers in this session report recent research in community settings and schools, focusing on promotion of healthy behaviors, effective teaching, conservation of traditional celebrations, and assessment of young children’s knowledge of the Maya language. All are focused on increasing understanding in order to promote community involvement in research and its appropriate usage. ctriples@aol. com (TH-14) ______________________________________ SEPEZ, Jennifer (NOAA) Flipping for Flipper: Marine Mammal Tourism and Conservation. For many western tourists, whales are conceptualized as combining the intelligence of humans (or better), with the wildness of wolves, the peacefulness of Zen Buddhists, and the exoticness of the Other. Such a super-being makes for quite an attraction; the worldwide whale watching industry is estimated to generate over a billion dollars annually. Other peoples, located from the Arctic to Australia, see whales and other marine mammals primarily as an important food source. This session examines modern humans and marine mammals, and the implications of their interactions for culture and conservation.

By drawing on ethnographic research with political and economic migrant populations, as well as those that straddle this blurry divide, and the institutions that serve them, these papers provide a comparative context in which to explore a myriad of theoretical, programmatic, and policy questions such as: At what points in our understanding of migration does gender enter or become explanatory? How is it possible to improve the psychosocial well-being of migrant families? What can be done to enhance policy-makers’ understanding of refugee women’s trauma?

The self-determination of Indigenous peoples in the research process is best exemplified by the principles of ownership, control, access and possession (OCAP) and the application of these to the research process. However, the principles of OCAP emerged out of the desire of Indigenous peoples to have power over large-scale quantitative studies targeting their communities. This session will explore the challenge for Indigenous communities and their research partners in applying the principles of OCAP to research with marginal and vulnerable Indigenous groups in which qualitative methods such as life histories, in-depth interviews, focus groups and feminist methods are the central tools/approaches of data collection.

Many research studies have shown a clear link between childhood sexual abuse (CSA) and later HIV risk. The causal pathways underlying this relationship remain unclear. Drawing on data from two projects with high-risk women (partners of drugs users, commercial sex workers and active drug users), this paper will explore the mediating roles of relationship power dynamics, substance abuse, self-efficacy, and locus of control in the relationship between CSA and HIV risk. A better understanding of the causal pathways will help in the design of more effective interventions for women who have experienced childhood sexual abuse.

It is no surprise that there is difference between the knowledge of medical specialists and the general population. It is generally assumed that specialists add specialist knowledge to general. Therefore, most studies of traditional medicine focus on specialist informants. Research on Tzeltal ethnophysiology has shown that, contrary to expectation, elaborated physiological models are held by the general population, and denied by specialists. Yet, specialists are covertly informed by these models. Ultimately, the focus on specialists may not be the means of obtaining the broadest picture of traditional medicine, but instead, an obstacle in recording the traditional medicine of local cultures.

There has been little recovery of that industry since then. With little other economic opportunity available to them, it is no wonder that many people participate in the transshipment of drugs, thus facilitating the availability of cocaine in the United States.

The Soviet Union’s collapse in 1989 and the recent tightening of U.S. policies have sent the Cuban economy into crisis, undermining the state’s legitimacy for many citizens. During 16 months of ethnographic fieldwork in Havana, Cuba (2001-2005), I explored how socialist values in Cuba are reproduced and contested through practices of gender, kinship, and family-making. While the Cuban state creates new alliances in a “post-socialist” global economy by trading doctors for Venezuelan oil, families negotiating this current socio-economic reorganization are finding ways to draw upon reproductive and familial practices - including migration - that sometimes run counter to socialist ideals.

This paper investigates how access to the raw ingredients and production of food has come to be equated with power and autonomy Paper Abstracts and how the gender roles implicit in food production intersect and influence this equation.

The increasing globalization of the seafood industry has placed considerable stress on small-scale fisheries, often radically transforming them. The shrimp fisheries in the United States have been especially affected, severely stressed by the rapidly expanding volume of imported, pond-grown shrimp. Increasingly local shrimpers cannot compete with imports, since the cost of catching wild shrimp has begun to exceed profit margins. A group of shrimpers in the state of Georgia has responded proactively by attempting to develop a niche market, promoting Georgia wild-caught shrimp as “turtle-safe,” and as superior in quality and taste to imported shrimp. The entrepreneurial efforts to redirect the shrimp fishery raise interesting questions for social science about local responses to globalization and to resilience in ecosystems. In particular they point to the need for greater attention to cultural systems in marine social-ecosystem resilience.

This paper examines the mechanisms by which biomedical information is understood and inserted into a larger distribution of knowledge about disease and sexuality, and argues that contrary to the language ideology held by many agencies in Benin, the transmission of knowledge about HIV/AIDS is not simply reducible to an act of translation, but involves a negotiation of multiple and competing conceptions of health, agency, and truth.

Current literature on the anthropology of the body and on bioethics often intersect on topics relating to bodily fragmentation (e.g., organ transplantation). In such discussions, questions are raised about how the body becomes fragmented, who is involved in these processes, and the implications for personhood. This paper looks at the reverse issue namely, body reconstruction after death. In a similar mode, the paper will address issues about how the body is reassembled, who is involved, and the implications for personhood. Ethnographic data from a restorative arts class in a university based mortuary science curriculum are used to analyze these issues.

Subsistence hunters in parts of Southeast Alaska have expressed concern that they are experiencing difficulty harvesting a sufficient number of deer. We investigated this issue by interviewing 89 deer hunters and evaluating the relationship between deer harvest patterns and landscape change. We determined that social-ecological changes resulting from a boom-and-bust commercial logging industry have indirectly challenged the adaptability of hunters by reducing efficiency of common hunting strategies. Resilience of subsistence lifestyles will depend on hunters’ capacity to adapt to irreversible socialecological changes by adopting a less desirable strategy.

How do they participate in the conflicts generated by water scarcity? What kind of agriculture will survive in this region?

Culture has become the new politically correct concept used to sell goods and services. Increasing the concept of culture is being co-opted by fields of study such as psychology, education, business administration, health education and nursing. The core concept of anthropology is being used without anthropologists; without anthropological input and guidance. Nowhere is this more glaring than in the health care industry. Few anthropologists are employed in this private sector. This paper explores the various ways that the term and concept of culture get co-opted and discusses the ramification of this co-opting without corresponding input from anthropology. carrdm@ earthlink.net (W-03) ______________________________________ CARROLL, Clint (UC-Berkeley) Reframing Tribal Environmental Policy in the Cherokee Nation of Oklahoma.

The policies that result from federal guidelines poorly suit Indian communities by not accounting for cultural practices and knowledge, hence the need for reframing tribal environmental policy to center the tribal perspective and raise the bar for tribal autonomy in resource management.

Culturally appropriate, locally-responsive programs to reduce inappropriate antibiotic use are urgently needed to counter the global threat of antibiotic resistance. Although Mongolia has a policy that requires a prescription to purchase antibiotics, excessive over-the-counter access and inappropriate dispensing of antibiotics by pharmacists are commonplace. Key informant interviews (N=8), a survey of all pharmacists in the Sukhbaatar District of Ulaanbaatar (N=31), and interviews with 29 of the survey respondents were used to explore the role of pharmacists and other contextual and policy influences on antibiotic use for acute respiratory infections.

Rather than focusing on how and where this school succeeded – and failed - at the reformist agenda it took on, this paper looks at the ideologies that drive this model of place-based social engagement. The success of the school reform model cannot be divorced from the ideologies of citizenship, civil society and civic engagement, and the nature of American youth, which are at the center of the reform model.

We have developed an innovative site-based drug prevention program to address environmental and social influences of party culture in promoting drug use. Through organizing and promoting drug-free parties, which incorporate drug prevention messages into the entertainment, this intervention aims to create new social contexts, networks, and motivations to support non-drug use among hard-to-reach urban youth.

The paper will argue that accessible health and social determinant data systems are necessary to advance First Nation self-governance over their health and wellbeing.

This project takes interviews with certain politicians and the uses that information to benefit their opposition through the formation of discourse designed to counter entrenched, hegemonic discourse. This paper is an effort to reconcile the responsibilities to the interview subjects with a sense of the greater good for the nonelite community whose policies they impact.

Essential to the idea of migration is displacement and the attendant uncertainty. This displacement is fueled by the seemingly benign, underground hostility that is inevitably embedded in the domination of existing cultural practices in academic institutions. In the high school context, females are compelled to migrate, to embrace this displacement as reflected in the obligatory narrative practices long affiliated with their male peers. Conflating memoir and ethnographic texts obtained in an ongoing ethnographic study, the author documents how this migration and the attendant displacement are implicated in Black and White females‚ intragender aggression, competition and by extension their academic performance.

This paper examines the dramatic effects of Hurricane Katrina as observed across two components of the Gulf of Mexico shrimp fishery: (1) that characterized by fishermen using large trawlers with offshore capabilities, and (2) that typified by captains using smaller boats in inshore waters. The paper will describe pertinent socioeconomic, cultural, and operational factors for both components of the fleet prior to and following the hurricane, and explain why operators of the larger, capital-laden vessels appear less likely to “weather” the storm and its effects over the long-term than do participants in the relatively more adaptable small boat fleet.

During the formative years of our response to the emergent AIDS pandemic, our understanding of specific at-risk behaviors was utilized to design interventions to reduce individuals’ risk of contracting and spreading HIV. By 1987 three large scale interventions were directed at intravenous drug users (IVDUs). The San Francisco model promoted bleach distribution and community agency. The Chicago model sponsored peer contacts and neighborhood canvassing. The New York model established centers of outreach offering education and HIV testing.

Additionally, instability within BAS, poor communication, and a lack of transparency resulted in a breakdown of the partnership between the community and BAS.

One hundred West African women were interviewed at home to explore how dietary patterns might change with time in lived in the USA, For each caretaker-child pair a 24 hour dietary recall with portion size was carried out. Analysis focused on qualitative and quantitative changes in dietary patterns. Results are that there was few associations between time lived in the US and total caloric intake or percent of calories from fats. Further, no associations between type of foods consumed and time in the USA emerged. Data limitations and reasons for the lack of an association are discussed.

In considering the other papers on this panel, these concluding comments focus on crucial policy issues regarding migration and how they sometimes diverge, and sometimes converge, between East Asia and North America. In the economic realm, for example, convergence is very clear. The need for labor has in both regions gouged chinks in migration control and labor protection. In other policy areas - whether political, social, or cultural - the relatively small scale of migration has enabled East Asia to avoid largescale changes. Recent events, however, suggest that the ramifications of migration are become more intense throughout East Asia.

Critical public health issues in Maya Guatemala centers on an increasing disconnect between locally available indigenous medicines and externally provided national medicine. Prestige factors progressively undermine the availability of local medicine. A decided prestige attaches to western, new, treatments. Furthermore, because of poor prestige and inadequate payment, few apprentice to indigenous providers. So indigenous medicine declines in availability. Yet Western medicine barely reaches the indigenous community. Cost and disinclination of practitioners to locate in indigenous communities make western treatment inaccessible.

Conducting research on decision-making around female genital cutting (FGC) in The Gambia, West Africa, using quantitative and qualitative methods and a local research team, we have been struck by the degree to which respondents report having internalized recent educational messages about HIV/AIDS prevention. Although HIV rates remain extremely low in the area, this approach appears to resonate more profoundly than earlier anti-FGM campaigns stressing obstetrical health. Ironically, however, those who remain in favor of FGC are using these messages to call for moderate medicalization of FGC, and we discuss its potential effects on the continuation of the practice.

The question addressed is whether these dilemmas differ fundamentally and qualitatively from those facing any anthropologist conducting fieldwork in a hierarchical organization. Using specific examples from participant observation research with a Canadian infantry battalion, I will discuss some ethical considerations that seem to be unique to the military setting.

This paper examines the efforts of KADP to mediate the impact of Uganda’s 1998 Land Act on the Karimojong. Whereas the stated objective of the Land Act is to safeguard customary land tenure, it has allowed non-Karimojong to acquire tracts of customary Karimojong land, from areas gazetted as forest and game preserves under both colonial and postcolonial administrations. Related issues pertain to local rights to mineral resources on customary lands and the environmental impact of a nascent mining industry, currently controlled by non-Karimojong. Land and mineral resources are critical to the economic transition in Karamoja.

Where information technology has been developed for welfare, it often results in top-down, data management and tracking systems that border on surveillance of communities. Advances in computer science make possible software that can center welfare recipients and case managers to create bottom-up, workable plans toward self-sufficiency.

For the entrepreneurs, this new wealth has enabled the expansion of social power through control over the so-called “big yards” (dayuan-migrant housing compounds) and through political connections with government officials. As the entrepreneurial elite pursues entry into the urban mainstream, however, the internal homogeneity of the peasant migrant groups yields to increased social stratification.

Much of this decision is made through parental choices which determine what values, traditions, and languages will be learned in the home. First generation East African immigrant parents in the United States will be studied to gain insight into preferences and beliefs concerning levels of assimilation in regards to themselves, and their children.

Since the 1970s significant progress has been made in terms of educating women about their bodies, providing information about what to expect from their caregivers, teaching how to effectively advocate for themselves. Comparable initiatives have not occurred for women whose pregnancies end without a life birth. This paper discusses how four feminist models of childbirth can be profitably adapted for pregnancy loss. I recommend changes in the provision of care based on the application of several principles of the women’s health movement including “knowledge is power,” agency and empowerment, woman-centered care, solidarity and sisterhood.

Community-based natural resource management (CBNRM) promotes the sustainable development of common-pool resources as it ostensibly brings about decentralization, meaningful participation, and conservation. Nevertheless, CBNRM has not been widely implemented in Vietnam, where the main strategies have been centralized management by state agencies and assignment of management responsibility to individual households. This paper argues that the promotion of nationalization or privatization, rather than solving problems of resource degradation and overexploitation, has deprived many rural households of their livelihoods, leading to processes of differentiation based on class, gender, and age.

Particular attention is devoted to the characteristics of the ways in which the limited living spaces are utilized and the residents’ sense of belonging. As a result, a new relationship between the residents and the community was observed, whereas the importance of expanded families and ritual kinship systems was found to be decreasing. Thus, I will argue that there emerged a new social structure that can be described as Philippine Urban Style.

This paper examines Coast Salish customary laws about the protection of their archaeological heritage in British Columbia, Canada. This ethnographic research explores indigenous perceptions, teachings and practices about the protection of their ancient sites and the problems of respect for these customary laws. From the perspective of cultural property law, this paper examines directions for legal reform to recognize Coast Salish customary laws, including the ownership, jurisdiction and management over archaeological sites, artifacts and ancient human remains, and the implications of how respecting First Nations‚ customary laws may shape future the practice of archaeology and heritage management in British Columbia.

The U.S. childhood obesity crisis requires multifaceted interventions engaging families, clinicians, schools, and children. Treating existing obesity is especially challenging. For adolescents, interventions promoting exercise and healthy eating are complicated by transitions in social and family life. We conducted interviews with 20 obese adolescents and their parents (N=40) about experiences of overweight and intervention preferences. Notably, boys and girls described different trajectories for how obesity affected social life and identity. Implications for interventions are discussed.

From multiple sexual partners, condom use and Pap exams, the prevention of cervical cancer has typically focused on the behaviors of women despite the fact that the primary agent (human papilloma virus) of the disease is carried by men and women. This paper examines the perceptions and practices of Latino couples regarding preventive and early detection measures for cervical cancer. Findings include the couple’s understandings of morality, machismo, trust and fidelity as barriers to prevention. These issues raise questions for health promoters and their role in removing morality from cervical cancer and its categorization as a sexually transmitted disease.

(Sandia Nat’l Labs) Anthropology, Ethics, and National Security Issues in the United States: Guidance for a Moral Minefield. Anthropologists in the United States are increasingly being courted by the military and intelligence sectors of the United States government. While the American Anthropological Association’s code of ethics specifically prohibits secret or clandestine research, there is nothing in the code that specifies when or how it is appropriate to engage in national security research. Indeed, anthropologists are remarkably naïve about how the national security community works because, as a community, we have refused to engage with these decision makers. In this paper, I discuss some of the ethical challenges of working with intelligence analysts and put forth some ideas for what a code of ethics for national security research might look like.

Cancer and heart disease, related to tobacco use, are the leading causes of death for American Indians. While most tribal persons live in urban areas, health services remain linked to reservations. To meet these needs, a multi-tribal urban tobacco coalition, Native Vision in Phoenix, Arizona was formed. This session will detail the project and include strategies for: 1) including, measuring and implementing commercial tobacco controls using ceremonial tobacco teachings, 2) accessing community viewpoints and behaviors, and 3) development of culturally appropriate questionnaire and focus group research methodology. Understanding the important cultural roles of tobacco is essential for successful program development.

The State of Alaska is experiencing significant and rapid environmental, economic, and social changes that have important near- and long-term implications for population, economy and the natural environment. These changes may disproportionately affect rural Alaska, where residents are dependent on a limited range of industries and subsistence activities. As life in rural Alaska becomes less certain, urban Alaska is likely to experience population increases. This paper explores how climate and economic changes act to push rural Alaskans into urban settings and how these shifts will affect in
